We are thrilled to introduce Ellerie Eve Cripe.

Labor was long, humbling
and tough, but thankfully, mama is recovering well and baby is healthy
as can be.

    Elise, I came across your blog a couple of days before the ‘i said yes’-post and have been reading ever since. We’re both 28 and now both the mom of a little girl (mine is 14 weeks old). For the next few days, enjoy the time with p.&e. (love the name and she’s gorgeous!) and I can’t wait to read about your motherhood experiences/craft projects in the future! Congrats!

    It may be a stupid comment to make, but I just got a bit excited: my first book ever was published yesterday about the same time… I honestly will never forget your daughter’s birthday and will wink from the distance every year 🙂
    Take care and enjoy!

    Very happy for you! I can see some of you in her already. I’m also very jealous as my due date is in 4 days and I’m going mad. Don’t know how you lasted an extra week! All the best.

    Congratulations from Australia! Take time to rest and get to know each other. Who cares about tidy homes, strict routines and being a hard task master to yourself. Soak up these precious days. They are so very very short. You have brought a baby into the world. Thats worth marvelling at for quite some time.xx

    I follow and don’t usually comment, but congratulations! I’ve been checking often to see if she had been born yet. Hope that isn’t weird or anything since you don’t know me, but your well written blog has me pulled in. lol
    Since I’m commenting I also want to say that I found your blog through pinterest a while back I enjoy your blog very much. I don’t usually keep up with blogs your art/craft ideas and your experiences with military life enthralled me. Thank you for sharing your life and your beautiful art with us.
    Good luck with mommyhood!

    CONGRATULATIONS!!! Aaaarghh, so exciting! I’ve been checking into your blog every couple of hours for the past few days to see if there have been any updates and when I opened the site this morning I actually squealed!
    Rest. Rest lots and lots and lots. Spend crap loads of time looking after your awesome little family unit.
    Btw, Ellerie is one of the sweetest names I have ever heard. Unique, without being strange, and cute, but it will mature with her. I can imagine calling a baby Ellerie, but also a teenager, and a grown woman. Great choice. 🙂
